I've only come across this problem when using various media players. Changing their video outputs to ,say, openGL or directx usually does the trick. Just closing the program doesn't always bring aero back </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/window-previews-thumbnails#post-4875 Mon, 10 Dec 2007 15:52:45 +0000 taybay 4875@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Well here's the problem. You can only get the previews if you have the Glass style working. If it changed to basic style without you doing anything, then there is a program that you're running that is incompatible with Glass and is making it automatically switch to basic style. Until you figure out what program it is, you're stuck. Go through your programs you have running in the background and close each one until Glass appears again. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/window-previews-thumbnails#post-4860 Mon, 10 Dec 2007 08:41:08 +0000 Lighthouse 4860@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>are you by any chance using VLC? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/window-previews-thumbnails#post-4858 Sun, 09 Dec 2007 14:11:20 +0000 khristian 4858@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>sorry i do mean the taskbar previews it only gives the description iv tried everything nowt seems to work "HELP"<br /> even my vista glass hass turned its self off and when i try 2 turn windows Aero on its automatically goes back 2 basic </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/window-previews-thumbnails#post-4854 Sun, 09 Dec 2007 09:16:03 +0000 Lighthouse 4854@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>The option to turn the thumbnails on or off is in Start&gt;Properties&gt;Taskbar </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/window-previews-thumbnails#post-4849 Sun, 09 Dec 2007 03:07:48 +0000 taybay 4849@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I think he means the taskbar previews.
